For the second time this season, Shohei Ohtani has won the National League Player of the Week. The honor did not surprise baseball fans who have watched the Dodgers Designated Hitter continue to outdo himself with every game.
“The Unicorn capped off his week with some epic performances against his former team,” posted Dodgers Nation. As National Player of the Week, Ohtani achieved the honor as the new Dodgers lead off hitter against his former team Anaheim Angels, replacing Mookie Betts who is on the injured list. “Shohei Ohtani’s big power and big run production last week from the leadoff position led to this,” explained Dodger Insider. The mega superstar “big power” and “big run production” encompassed a mind-blowing .456 AVG, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 3 doubles, 6 walks, 8 runs scored, and a 1.083 slugging percentage.
